Company Order contemplated by Section 2.04 for the authentication and delivery

                  The definitive Securities of each series shall be printed,
lithographed or engraved on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any

                                       9
<PAGE>

         therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

                                        JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, as Trustee

                                        By: ____________________________________
                                               Authorized Officer".

SECTION 2.04 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

                  Two Officers of the Company shall sign the Securities on
behalf of the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer of the
Company whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time
the Security is authenticated, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.

                  A Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the
manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee, which signature
shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this
Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security has been authenticated
and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the
Company delivers such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in
Section 2.13, together with a written statement (which need not comply with
Section 10.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that
such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of
this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated
and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture.

                  At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series
executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver such Securities for original issue upon a Company Order
for the authentication and delivery of such Securities or pursuant to such
procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified from time to time by
Company Order. Such order shall specify the amount of the Securities to be
authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Securities is to be
authenticated, the name or names of the initial Holder or Holders and any other
terms of the Securities of such series not otherwise determined. If provided for
in such procedures, such Company Order may authorize (1) authentication and
delivery of Securities of such series for original issue from time to time, with
certain terms (including, without limitation, the Maturity dates or dates,
original issue date or dates and interest rate or rates) that differ from
Security to Security and (2) may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant
to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized
agent, which instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing.

                  If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been
established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by
Section 2.01, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive (in addition to the Company Order referred
to

                                       10
<PAGE>

above and the other documents required by Section 10.04), and (subject to
Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon:

                  (a)      an Officers' Certificate setting forth the Board
         Resolution and, if applicable, an appropriate record of any action
         taken pursuant thereto, as contemplated by the last paragraph of
         Section 2.01; and

                  (b)      an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:

                           (i)      the form of such Securities has been
                  established in conformity with the provisions of this
                  Indenture;

                           (ii)     the terms of such Securities have been
                  established in conformity with the provisions of this
                  Indenture; and

                           (iii)    that such Securities, when authenticated and
                  delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the
                  manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion
                  of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of
                  the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance
                  with their terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be
                  limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
                  moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or other similar
                  laws in effect from time to time affecting the rights of
                  creditors generally, and the application of general principles
                  of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
                  considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

                  If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at
one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officers' Certificate and
Opinion of Counsel at the time of issuance of each such Security, but such
Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered at or before the
time of issuance of the first Security of the series to be issued.

                  The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such
Securities if the issuance of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture would
affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and
this Indenture or otherwise in a manner not reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee.

                  The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to
the Company to authenticate Securities. Unless limited by the terms of such
appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the
Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the
Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the
same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

                  Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

SECTION 2.05 Registrar and Paying Agent.

                  The Company shall maintain an office or agency for each series
of Securities where Securities of such series may be presented for registration
of transfer or exchange ("Registrar") and an office or agency where Securities
of such series may be presented for

                                       11
<PAGE>

payment ("Paying Agent"). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities
of such series and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one
or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term
"Registrar" includes any co-registrar and the term "Paying Agent" includes any
additional paying agent.

                  The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement
with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement
shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The
Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a
party to this Indenture. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar
without notice to any Holder. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain
another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The
Company or any Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

                  The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and
Paying Agent.

SECTION 2.06 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

                  The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the
Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the
benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to Securities and will notify the Trustee of any default by
the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the
Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee
and to account for any funds disbursed. The Company at any time may require a
Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any
funds disbursed. Upon payment over to the Trustee and upon accounting for any
funds disbursed, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary)
shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary
acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for
the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Each Paying
Agent shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 317(b).

SECTION 2.07 Holder Lists.

                  The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and
addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section  312(a). If the
Trustee is not the Registrar with respect to a series of Securities, the Company
shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest
Payment Date with respect to such series of Securities, and at such other times
as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date
as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders of
such series, and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA Section  312(a).

SECTION 2.08 Transfer and Exchange.

                  Except as set forth in Section 2.17 or as may be provided
pursuant to Section 2.01:

                                       12
<PAGE>

                  When Securities of any series are presented to the Registrar
with the request to register the transfer of such Securities or to exchange such
Securities for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same series of
like tenor and of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register
the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements and the
requirements of this Indenture for such transactions are met; provided, however,
that the Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of
transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the
Holder thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing, on which
instruction the Registrar can rely.

                  To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the
Registrar's written request and submission of the Securities or Global
Securities. No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or
similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than such
transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to
Section 2.12, 3.07 or 9.05). The Trustee shall authenticate Securities in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, the Company shall not be required
to register the transfer or exchange of (a) any Security selected for redemption
in whole or in part pursuant to Article III, except the unredeemed portion of
any Security being redeemed in part, or (b) any Security during the period
beginning 15 Business Days prior to the mailing of notice of any offer to
repurchase Securities of the series required pursuant to the terms thereof or of
redemption of Securities of a series to be redeemed and ending at the close of
business on the day of mailing.

SECTION 2.09 Replacement Securities.

                  If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or if
the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been destroyed, lost or
stolen and the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of such Security, the Company shall issue and the
Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security of the same series if the
Trustee's requirements are met. If any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its
discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. If
required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder must furnish an indemnity
bond that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to
protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent from any
loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company and the
Trustee may charge a Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security.

                  Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the
Company.

SECTION 2.10 Outstanding Securities.

                  The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities
authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to
it for cancellation, those reductions in

                                       13
<PAGE>

the interest in a Global Security effected by the Trustee hereunder and those
described in this Section 2.10 as not outstanding.

                  If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09, it ceases
to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.

                  If the principal amount of any Security is considered paid
under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to
accrue.

                  A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the
Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.

SECTION 2.11 Original Issue Discount, Foreign-Currency Denominated and Treasury
             Securities.

                  In determining whether the Holders of the required principal
amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, amendment, supplement,
waiver or consent, (a) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount
Security shall be the principal amount thereof that would be due and payable as
of the date of such determination upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof
pursuant to Section 6.02, (b) the principal amount of a Security denominated in
a foreign currency shall be the Dollar equivalent, as determined by the Company
by reference to the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers
for such currency, as such rate is certified for customs purposes by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York (the "Exchange Rate") on the date of original issuance
of such Security, of the principal amount (or, in the case of an Original Issue
Discount Security, the Dollar equivalent, as determined by the Company by
reference to the Exchange Rate on the date of original issuance of such
Security, of the amount determined as provided in (a) above), of such Security
and (c) Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities
or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded,
except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be
protected in relying upon any such direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or
consent, only Securities that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually
knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

SECTION 2.12 Temporary Securities.

                  Until definitive Securities of any series are ready for
delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary
Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of
definitive Securities, but may have variations that the Company considers
appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company
shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in
exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities
shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Securities.

SECTION 2.13 Cancellation.

                  The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee
for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the
Trustee any Securities surrendered to

                                       14
<PAGE>

them for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or redemption or for credit
against any sinking fund payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities
surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, redemption,
replacement or cancellation or for credit against any sinking fund. Unless the
Company shall direct in writing that canceled Securities be returned to it, all
canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with
the usual disposal procedures of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall maintain a
record of their disposal. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace
Securities that have been paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation.

SECTION 2.14 Payments; Defaulted Interest.

                  Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.01,
interest (except defaulted interest) on any Security that is payable, and is
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid
to the Persons who are registered Holders of that Security at the close of
business on the record date next preceding such Interest Payment Date, even if
such Securities are canceled after such record date and on or before such
Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender a Security to a Paying Agent to
collect principal payments. Unless otherwise provided with respect to the
Securities of any series, the Company will pay the principal of, premium (if
any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities
in Dollars. Such amounts shall be payable at the offices of the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, provided that at the option of the Company, the Company may pay
such amounts (1) by wire transfer with respect to Global Securities or (2) by
check payable in such money mailed to a Holder's registered address with respect
to any Securities.

                  If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the
Securities of any series, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest in any
lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest on the defaulted interest, in
each case at the rate provided in the Securities of such series and in Section
4.01. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders
on a subsequent special record date. At least 15 days before any special record
date selected by the Company, the Company (or the Trustee, in the name of and at
the expense of the Company upon 20 days' prior written notice from the Company
setting forth such special record date and the interest amount to be paid) shall
mail to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related
payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.15 Persons Deemed Owners.

                  The Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating
agent may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner
of such Security for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of, premium
(if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to such Security
and for all other purposes. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Agent or any
authenticating agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.16 Computation of Interest.

                  Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01
for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be
computed on the basis of a year comprising twelve 30-day months.

                                       15

SECTION 2.17 Global Securities; Book-Entry Provisions.

                  If Securities of a series are issuable in global form as a
Global Security, as contemplated by Section 2.01, then, notwithstanding clause
(10) of Section 2.01 and the provisions of Section 2.02, any such Global
Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities of such series as
shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate
amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the
aggregate amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to
time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, transfers or
redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any
increase or decrease in the amount, of outstanding Securities represented
thereby shall be made by the Trustee (i) in such manner and upon instructions
given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified in such Security or in a
Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.04 or (ii)
otherwise in accordance with written instructions or such other written form of
instructions as is customary for the Depositary for such Security, from such
Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest
in such Global Security. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04 and, if
applicable, Section 2.12, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security
in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person
or Persons specified in such Security or in the applicable Company Order. With
respect to the Securities of any series that are represented by a Global
Security, the Company authorizes the execution and delivery by the Trustee of a
letter of representations or other similar agreement or instrument in the form
customarily provided for by the Depositary appointed with respect to such Global
Security. Any Global Security may be deposited with the Depositary or its
nominee, or may remain in the custody of the Trustee or the Security Custodian
therefor pursuant to a FAST Balance Certificate Agreement or similar agreement
between the Trustee and the Depositary. If a Company Order has been, or
simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to
endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in
writing but need not comply with Section 10.05 and need not be accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel.

                  Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent
Members") shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global
Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee or the Security
Custodian as its custodian, or under such Global Security, and the Depositary
may be treated by the Company, the Trustee or the Security Custodian and any
agent of the Company, the Trustee or the Security Custodian as the absolute
owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) the registered holder of a Global Security of a series may grant
proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons
that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder
of Securities of such series is entitled to take under this Indenture or the
Securities of such series and (ii) nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the
Trustee or the Security Custodian, or any agent of the Company, the Trustee or
the Security Custodian, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy
or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or shall impair, as between
the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices
governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any Security.

                                       16
<PAGE>

                  Notwithstanding Section 2.08, and except as otherwise provided
pursuant to Section 2.01: Transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to
transfers of such Global Security in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary,
its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a
Global Security may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures
of the Depositary. Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in
exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security if, and only if,
either (1) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depositary for the Global Security and a successor Depositary is not
appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, (2) an Event of Default
has occurred with respect to such series and is continuing and the Registrar has
received a request from the Depositary to issue Securities in lieu of all or a
portion of the Global Security (in which case the Company shall deliver
Securities within 30 days of such request) or (3) the Company determines not to
have the Securities represented by a Global Security.

                  In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial
interests in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to this Section
2.17, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a
decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to
the principal amount of the beneficial interests in the Global Security to be
transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of a
Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Securities shall
authenticate and deliver, one or more Securities of the same series of like
tenor and amount.

                  In connection with the transfer of all the beneficial
interests in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to this Section
2.17, the Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange
for its beneficial interests in the Global Security, an equal aggregate
principal amount of Securities of authorized denominations.

                  Neither the Company nor the Trustee will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or
payments made on account of, Securities by the Depositary, or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary relating to such
Securities. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay by
the related Global Security Holder or the Depositary in identifying the
beneficial owners, and each such Person may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, instructions from such Global Security Holder or the
Depositary for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and
delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the Securities to be issued).

                  The provisions of the last sentence of the third paragraph of
Section 2.04 shall apply to any Global Security if such Global Security was
never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the
Global Security together with written instructions (which need not comply with
Section 10.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard
to the cancellation or reduction in the principal amount of Securities
represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the
last sentence of the third paragraph of Section 2.04.

                  Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.03 and 2.14,
unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, payment of principal
of, premium (if any) and interest

                                       17
<PAGE>

on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Global Security shall be made
to the Depositary.

                  The Company in issuing Securities of any series may use CUSIP
numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP
numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of Securities of
such series; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is
made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities
of such series or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance
may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities
of such series, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in
or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in
writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, delivery or
surrender of a Security shall not be required in the case of Global Securities
in order to obtain the rights or benefits provided hereunder upon the delivery
or surrender of a Security.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                   REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.01 Applicability of Article.

                  Securities of any series that are redeemable before their
Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of any
series) in accordance with this Article III.

SECTION 3.02      Notice to the Trustee.

                  If the Company elects to redeem Securities of any series
pursuant to this Indenture, it shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption Date
and the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. The
Company shall so notify the Trustee at least 45 days before the Redemption Date
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) by delivering to
the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such redemption will comply
with the provisions of this Indenture and of the Securities of such series. Any
such notice may be canceled at any time prior to the mailing of such notice of
such redemption to any Holder and shall thereupon be void and of no effect.

SECTION 3.03 Selection of Securities To Be Redeemed.

                  If less than all the Securities of any series are to be
redeemed (unless all of the Securities of such series of a specified tenor are
to be redeemed), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not
more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the
outstanding Securities of such series (and tenor) not previously called for
redemption, either pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall
deem appropriate in accordance with industry standards at the time of such
redemption and that may provide for the selection for redemption of portions
(equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or
any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such
series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for
Securities of

                                       18
<PAGE>

that series or of the principal amount of Global Securities of such series;
provided that, if at the time of redemption such Securities are registered as a
Global Security, the Depositary shall determine, in accordance with its
procedures, the principal amount of such Securities held by each beneficial
owner of Securities to be redeemed.

                  The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the
Registrar in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case
of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof
to be redeemed.

                  For purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise
requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Securities shall relate, in
the case of any of the Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to
the portion of the principal amount thereof which has been or is to be redeemed.

SECTION 3.04 Notice of Redemption.

                  Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 days (or not less than 15 days in the
case of convertible Securities) nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at the address of such Holder
appearing in the register of Securities maintained by the Registrar.

                  All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be
redeemed and shall state:

                  (1)      the Redemption Date;

                  (2)      the Redemption Price (or the method of calculating or
         determining the Redemption Price);

                  (3)      that, unless the Company defaults in making the
         redemption payment, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases
         to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and the only remaining
         right of the Holders of such Securities is to receive payment of the
         Redemption Price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Securities
         redeemed;

                  (4)      if any Security is to be redeemed in part, the
         portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and that on and
         after the Redemption Date, upon surrender for cancellation of such
         Security to the Paying Agent, a new Security or Securities in the
         aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will
         be issued without charge to the Holder;

                  (5)      that Securities called for redemption must be
         surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price and the
         name and address of the Paying Agent;

                  (6)      that the redemption is for a sinking or analogous
         fund, if such is the case;

                  (7)      if such Securities are convertible into or
         exchangeable for capital stock, other debt securities (including
         Securities), warrants, other equity securities or any other securities
         or property of the Company or any other Person, the name and address of
         the

                                       19
<PAGE>

         conversion or exchange agent, the date on which the right to convert or
         exchange is terminated and the conversion or exchange rate; and

                  (8)      the CUSIP number, if any, relating to such
         Securities.

                  Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the
election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's
written request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

SECTION 3.05 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

                  Once notice of redemption is mailed, Securities called for
redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption
Price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities called for redemption
shall be paid at the Redemption Price, but interest installments whose maturity
is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable on the relevant Interest
Payment Dates to the Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant
record dates specified pursuant to Section 2.01.

SECTION 3.06 Deposit of Redemption Price.

                  By 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent (or, if the Company
is acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in
Section 2.06) an amount of money in same day funds sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest
Payment Date) accrued interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to,
the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date, other
than Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which
have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.

                  If the Company complies with the preceding paragraph, then,
unless the Company defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price, interest on
the Securities to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the applicable
Redemption Date, whether or not such Securities are presented for payment, and
the Holders of such Securities shall have no further rights with respect to such
Securities except for the right to receive the Redemption Price upon surrender
of such Securities. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid
upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal, premium, if any, any
Additional Amounts, and, to the extent lawful, accrued interest thereon shall,
until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate specified
pursuant to Section 2.01 or provided in the Securities or, in the case of
Original Issue Discount Securities, such Securities' yield to maturity.

SECTION 3.07 Securities Redeemed in Part.

                  Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Security to be
redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge a new Security
or Securities, of the same series and of any authorized denomination as
requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange
for, the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered that
is not redeemed.

SECTION 3.08 Purchase of Securities.

                  Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01,
the Company and any Affiliate of the Company may at any time purchase or
otherwise acquire Securities in the open market or by private agreement. Any
such acquisition shall not operate as or be deemed for any purpose to be a
redemption of the indebtedness represented by such Securities. Any Securities
purchased or acquired by the Company may be delivered to the Trustee and, upon
such delivery, the indebtedness represented thereby shall be deemed to be
satisfied. Section 2.13 shall apply to all Securities so delivered.

SECTION 3.09 Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds.

                  The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by
the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory
sinking fund payment," and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided
for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an
"optional sinking fund payment." Unless otherwise provided by the terms of
Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be
subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.10. Each sinking fund payment
shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for
by the terms of Securities of such series and by this Article III.

SECTION 3.10 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

                  The Company may deliver outstanding Securities of a series
(other than any previously called for redemption) and may apply as a credit
Securities of a series that have been redeemed either at the election of the
Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of
permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund
payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made
pursuant to the terms of such series of Securities; provided that such
Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be
received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price
specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking
fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

SECTION 3.11 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

                  Not less than 45 days prior (unless a shorter period shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee) to each sinking fund payment date for any series of
Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate of
the Company specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for
that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by delivery of or by crediting Securities of that
series pursuant to Section 3.10 and will also deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Failure of the Company to
timely deliver or cause to be delivered such Officers' Certificate and
Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default
but shall constitute the election of the Company (i) that the mandatory sinking
fund payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment
date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver

                                       21
<PAGE>

or credit Securities of such series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Company
will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series as
provided in this Section.

                  If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional
or both) to be made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date
plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash
shall exceed $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof based on the applicable
Exchange Rate on the date of original issue of the applicable Securities) or a
lesser sum if the Company shall so request with respect to the Securities of any
particular series, such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking
fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking
fund redemption price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption. If such amount shall be $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof
as aforesaid) or less and the Company makes no such request then it shall be
carried over until a sum in excess of $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof
as aforesaid) is available. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund
payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such
sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.03 and cause
notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense
of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.04. Such notice having been
duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and
in the manner stated in Sections 3.05, 3.06 and 3.07.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                    COVENANTS

SECTION 4.01 Payment of Securities.

                  The Company shall pay the principal of, premium (if any) and
interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of each
series on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities of such series
and in this Indenture. Principal, premium, interest and any Additional Amounts
shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent (other than the
Company or a Subsidiary) holds by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that date
money deposited by the Company designated for and sufficient to pay all
principal, premium, interest and any Additional Amounts then due.

                  The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition
interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and
premium (if any), at a rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the
Securities to the extent lawful; and it shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
installments of interest and any Additional Amount (without regard to any
applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful.

SECTION 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

                  The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any
series of Securities an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee,
the Registrar or the Paying Agent) where Securities of that series may be
presented for registration of transfer or exchange, where Securities of that
series may be presented for payment and where notices and demands to or upon

                                       22
<PAGE>

the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may
be served. Unless otherwise designated by the Company by written notice to the
Trustee, such office or agency shall be the office of the Trustee in The City of
New York, which on the date hereof is located at 4 New York Plaza, 15th Floor,
New York, New York 10004. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or
agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required
office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof,
such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

                  The Company may also from time to time designate one or more
other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be
presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain
an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for
such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such
other office or agency.

SECTION 4.03 SEC Reports; Financial Statements.

                  (a)      If the Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, the Company shall file with the Trustee, within 15 days after
it files the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and the
information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of
the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) that the
Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act. If this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, but not otherwise,
the Company shall also comply with the provisions of TIA Section  314(a).

                  (b)      If the Company is not subject to the requirements of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall furnish to all
Holders of Rule 144A Securities and prospective purchasers of Rule 144A
Securities designated by the Holders of Rule 144A Securities, promptly upon
their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule
144A(d)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

                  (c)      The Company intends to file the reports, information
and documents referred to in Section 4.03(a) hereof with the SEC in electronic
form pursuant to Regulation S-T promulgated by the SEC using the SEC's
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval ("EDGAR") system. The Company
shall notify the Trustee in the manner prescribed herein of each such filing.
The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to access the EDGAR system for
purposes of retrieving the reports so filed. Compliance with the foregoing shall
constitute delivery by the Company of such reports to the Trustee in compliance
with the provisions of TIA Section 314(a). The Trustee shall have no duty to
search for or obtain any electronic or other filings that the Company makes with
the SEC, regardless of whether such filings are periodic, supplemental or
otherwise. Delivery of the reports, information and documents to the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be solely for the purposes of compliance
with this Section 4.03 and with TIA Section 314(a). The Trustee's receipt of
such reports, information and documents shall not constitute notice to it of the
content thereof or of any matter determinable from the content

                                       23
<PAGE>

thereof, including the Company's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder,
as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely upon Officers' Certificates.

SECTION 4.04 Compliance Certificate.

                  (a)      The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120
days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, a statement signed by the
principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting
officer of the Company, which need not constitute an Officers' Certificate,
complying with TIA Section 314(a)(4) and stating that in the course of
performance by the signing Officer of his duties as such Officer of the Company
he would normally obtain knowledge of the keeping, observing, performing and
fulfilling by the Company of its obligations under this Indenture, and further
stating that to the best of his knowledge the Company has kept, observed,
performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and
is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms,
provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which such
Officer may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to
take with respect thereto).

                  (b)      The Company shall, so long as Securities of any
series are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, as soon as practicable, but in
no event more than five Business Days, after any Officer of the Company becoming
aware of any Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, an Officers'
Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the
Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 4.05 Corporate Existence.

                  Subject to Article V, the Company shall do or cause to be done
all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its
existence.

SECTION 4.06 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

                  The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do
so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law
or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive it from paying all
or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Securities as contemplated
herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent
that it may lawfully do so) the Company hereby expressly waives all benefit or
advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or
impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer
and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been
enacted.

SECTION 4.07 Additional Amounts.

                  If the Securities of a series expressly provide for the
payment of Additional Amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any
Security of such series Additional Amounts as expressly provided therein.
Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of
the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any

                                       24
<PAGE>

Security of any series or the net proceeds received from the sale or exchange of
any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of
the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Section 4.07 to the
extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable
in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.07 and express
mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions
hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those
provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

SECTION 5.01 Limitations on Mergers and Consolidations.

                  The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into any
Person, or sell, lease, convey, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, in any
transaction or series of transactions, all or substantially all of its assets to
any Person, unless:

                  (1)      either (a) the Company shall be the continuing Person
         or (b) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such
         consolidation or into which the Company is merged, or to which such
         sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other disposition
         shall be made (collectively, the "Successor"), is organized and validly
         existing under the laws of the United States of America, any political
         subdivision thereof or any State thereof or the District of Columbia,
         the Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman
         Islands, any of the Channel Islands, France, any other member of the

         of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with
         respect to all the Securities and the performance of the Company's
         covenants and obligations under this Indenture and the Securities;

                  (2)      immediately after giving effect to such transaction
         or series of transactions, no Default or Event of Default shall have
         occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom;

                  (3)      in the case of clause (1)(b) above, in the event that
         the Successor is organized in a jurisdiction other than the United
         States of America, any political subdivision thereof or any State
         thereof or the District of Columbia which is different from the
         jurisdiction in which the obligor on the Securities was organized
         immediately before giving effect to the transaction or series of
         transactions, (a) the Successor delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of
         Counsel stating that (1) the obligations of the Successor are
         enforceable under the laws of the new jurisdiction of its formation
         subject to customary exceptions and (2) the Holders of Securities will
         not recognize any income, gain or loss for United States Federal income
         tax purposes as a result of the transaction or series of transactions
         and will be subject to United States Federal income tax on the same
         amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
         the case if such transaction or series of transactions had not
         occurred; (b) the Successor agrees in writing

         Directors of the Company or the comparable governing body of the
         Successor, as applicable, determines in good faith that such
         transaction or series of transactions will not adversely affect the
         interest of the Holders of Securities in any material respect, which
         determination shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution (or its
         equivalent if the Successor is not a corporation) to such effect; and

                  (4)      in the case of clause (1)(b) above, the Successor
         delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of
         Counsel, each stating that the transaction and such supplemental
         indenture comply with this Indenture.

SECTION 5.02 Successor Person Substituted.

                  Upon any consolidation or merger of the Company or any sale,
lease, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01, the Successor formed
by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such sale,
lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other disposition is made shall
succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of
the Company under this Indenture and the Securities with the same effect as if

Company, in the case of a sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other
disposition, shall be released from all obligations under this Indenture and the
Securities.

SECTION 6.01 Events of Default.

                  Unless either inapplicable to a particular series or
specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or
Board Resolution establishing such series of Securities or in the form of
Security for such series, an "Event of Default," wherever used herein with
respect to Securities of any series, occurs if:

                  (1)      the Company defaults in the payment of interest on or
         any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of that series when
         the same becomes due and payable and such default continues for a
         period of 30 days;

                  (2)      the Company defaults in the payment of (A) the
         principal of any Security of that series at its Maturity or (B) premium
         (if any) on any Security of that series when the same becomes due and
         payable;

                  (3)      the Company defaults in the deposit of any sinking
         fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a Security of that
         series, and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

                                       26
<PAGE>

                  (4)      the Company fails to comply with any of its other
         covenants or agreements in, or provisions of, the Securities of such
         series or this Indenture (other than an agreement, covenant or
         provision that has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for
         the benefit of one or more series of Securities other than that series)
         which shall not have been remedied within the specified period after
         written notice, as specified in the last paragraph of this Section
         6.01;

                  (5)      the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any
         Bankruptcy Law:

                           (A)      commences a voluntary case,

                           (B)      consents to the entry of an order for relief
                  against it in an involuntary case,

                           (C)      consents to the appointment of a Bankruptcy
                  Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its
                  property, or

                           (D)      makes a general assignment for the benefit
                  of its creditors;

                  (6)      a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or
         decree under any Bankruptcy Law that remains unstayed and in effect for
         90 days and that:

                           (A)      is for relief against the Company as debtor
                  in an involuntary case,

                           (B)      appoints a Bankruptcy Custodian of the
                  Company or a Bankruptcy Custodian for all or substantially all
                  of the property of the Company, or

                           (C)      orders the liquidation of the Company; or

                  (7)      any other Event of Default provided with respect to
         Securities of that series occurs.

                  The term "Bankruptcy Custodian" means any receiver, trustee,
assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

                  When a Default or Event of Default is cured, it ceases.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01,
if the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts with
respect to any Security is payable in a currency or currencies (including a
composite currency) other than Dollars and such currency or currencies are not
available to the Company for making payment thereof due to the imposition of
exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company (a
"Conversion Event"), the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to
Holders of the Securities by making such payment in Dollars in an amount equal
to the Dollar equivalent of the amount payable in such other currency, as
determined by the Company by reference to the Exchange Rate on the date of such
payment, or, if such rate is not then available, on the basis of the most
recently available Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section

                                       27
<PAGE>

6.01, any payment made under such circumstances in Dollars where the required
payment is in a currency other than Dollars will not constitute an Event of
Default under this Indenture.

                  Promptly after the occurrence of a Conversion Event, the
Company shall give written notice thereof to the Trustee; and the Trustee,
promptly after receipt of such notice, shall give notice thereof in the manner
provided in Section 10.02 to the Holders. Promptly after the making of any
payment in Dollars as a result of a Conversion Event, the Company shall give
notice in the manner provided in Section 10.02 to the Holders, setting forth the
applicable Exchange Rate and describing the calculation of such payments.

                  A Default under clause (4) or (7) of this Section 6.01 is not
an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the series
affected by such Default (or, in the case of a Default under clause (4) of this
Section 6.01, if outstanding Securities of other series are affected by such
Default, then at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding
Securities so affected) notify the Company and the Trustee, of the Default, and
the Company fails to cure the Default within 60 days after receipt of the
notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and
state that the notice is a "Notice of Default."

SECTION 6.02 Acceleration.

                  If an Event of Default with respect to any Securities of any
series at the time outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in
clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by
notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
then outstanding Securities of the series affected by such Event of Default (or,
in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (4) of Section 6.01, if
outstanding Securities of other series are affected by such Event of Default,
then at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities so
affected) by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of
(or, if any such Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion
of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and all
accrued and unpaid interest on all then outstanding Securities of such series or
of all series, as the case may be, to be due and payable. Upon any such
declaration, the amounts due and payable on the Securities shall be due and
payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of
Section 6.01 hereof occurs, such amounts shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the
part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the then outstanding Securities of the series affected by such Event of
Default or all series so affected, as the case may be, by written notice to the
Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences (other than nonpayment
of principal of or premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect
to the Securities) if (i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or
decree, (ii) all existing Events of Default with respect to Securities of that
series (or of all series, as the case may be) have been cured or waived, except
nonpayment of principal, premium, interest or any Additional Amounts that has
become due solely because of the acceleration, and (iii) the Trustee has been
paid any amounts due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

SECTION 6.03 Other Remedies.

                  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of
any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

                  The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not
possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.
A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or
remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 6.04 Waiver of Defaults.

                  Subject to Sections 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series or of all
series affected thereby (acting as one class) by notice to the Trustee may waive
an existing or past Default or Event of Default with respect to such series or
all series so affected, as the case may be, and its consequences (including
waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for
Securities of such series or all series so affected or a solicitation of
consents in respect of Securities of such series or all series so affected,
provided that in each case such offer or solicitation is made to all Holders of
then outstanding Securities of such series or all series so affected (but the
terms of such offer or solicitation may vary from series to series)), except (1)
a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any
Security or (2) a continued Default in respect of a provision that under Section
9.02 cannot be amended or supplemented without the consent of each Holder
affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every
purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.05 Control by Majority.

                  With respect to Securities of any series, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series
may direct in writing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred on it relating to or arising under an Event of Default described in
clause (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Section 6.01, and with respect to all Securities,
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the then outstanding
Securities affected may direct in writing the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising
any trust or power conferred on it not relating to or arising under such an
Event of Default. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that
conflicts with applicable law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may
be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders, or that may involve the
Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any
other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such
direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled
to indemnification

                                       29
<PAGE>

satisfactory to it in its sole discretion from Holders directing the Trustee
against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

SECTION 6.06      Limitations on Suits.

                  Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, a Holder of a Security of any
series may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of
such series only if:

                  (1)      the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a
         continuing Event of Default with respect to such series;

                  (2)      the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
         the then outstanding Securities of such series make a written request
         to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

                  (3)      such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity
         satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

                  (4)      the Trustee does not comply with the request within
         60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

                  (5)      during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority
         in principal amount of the Securities of such series do not give the
         Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

                  A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of
another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

SECTION 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the
right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the
Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security, or to
bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of the Holder.

SECTION 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

                  If an Event of Default specified in clause (1) or (2) of
Section 6.01 hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to
recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the
Company for the amount of principal, premium (if any), interest and any
Additional Amounts remaining unpaid on the Securities of the series affected by
the Event of Default, and interest on overdue principal and premium, if any,
and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest, and such further amount
as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel.

                                       30
<PAGE>

SECTION 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

                  The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and
other papers or documents and to take such actions, including participating as a
member, voting or otherwise, of any committee of creditors, as may be necessary
or advisable to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings
relative to the Company or its creditors or properties and shall be entitled and
empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable
or deliverable on any such claims and any Bankruptcy Custodian in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to
the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to
it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.07. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such
proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured
by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends,
money, securities and other properties which the Holders of the Securities may
be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any
plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder
thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10 Priorities.

                  If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VI,
it shall pay out the money in the following order:

                  First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

                  Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the
         Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money
         has been collected, for principal, premium (if any), interest and any
         Additional Amounts ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
         according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for
         principal, premium (if any), interest and any Additional Amounts,
         respectively; and

                  Third: to the Company.

                  The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix
record dates and payment dates for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Article VI.

                  To the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, if for the
purpose of obtaining a judgment against the Company in any court it is necessary
to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of, premium (if any) or
interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of any series
(the "Required Currency") into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered
(the "Judgment Currency"), the rate of exchange used for purposes of rendering
the

                                       31
<PAGE>

judgment shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures
the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with
the Judgment Currency on the Business Day in The City of New York next preceding
that on which final judgment is given. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall
be liable for any shortfall nor shall it benefit from any windfall in payments
to Holders of Securities under this Section 6.10 caused by a change in exchange
rates between the time the amount of a judgment against it is calculated as
above and the time the Trustee converts the Judgment Currency into the Required
Currency to make payments under this Section 6.10 to Holders of Securities, but
payment of such judgment shall discharge all amounts owed by the Company on the
claim or claims underlying such judgment.

SECTION 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.

                  In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as a trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by
any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit,
and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a
Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by a Holder or Holders of more than
10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                     TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

                  (a)      If an Event of Default has occurred and is
         continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
         vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and
         skill in such exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under
         the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

                  (b)      Except during the continuance of an Event of Default
         with respect to the Securities of any series:

                  (1)      the Trustee need perform only those duties that are
         specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied
         covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the
         Trustee; and

                  (2)      in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee
         may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
         correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
         opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
         this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine such certificates
         and opinions to determine whether, on their face, they appear to
         conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

                  (c)      The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for
         its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own
         willful misconduct, except that:

                                       32
<PAGE>

                  (1)      this paragraph does not limit the effect of Section
         7.01(b);

                  (2)      the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
         judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is
         proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
         facts; and

                  (3)      the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
         action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
         direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05.

                  (d)      Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every
         provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is
         subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01.

                  (e)      No provision of this Indenture shall require the
         Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The
         Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power
         unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
         liability or expense.

                  (f)      The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any
         money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with
         the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated
         from other funds except to the extent required by law. All money
         received by the Trustee shall, until applied as herein provided, be
         held in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium (if any) and
         interest on and Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities.

SECTION 7.02 Rights of Trustee.

                  (a)      The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the
document.

                  (b)      Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it
may require instruction, an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or
both to be provided. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or
omits to take in good faith in reliance on such instruction, Officers'
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult at the Company's
expense with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any
Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith
and in reliance thereon.

                  (c)      The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be
responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due
care.

                  (d)      The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or
within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

                  (e)      Unless otherwise specifically provided in this
Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall be
sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company.

                                       33
<PAGE>

                  (f)      The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of
any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities, unless either
(1) a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge of such Default or Event
of Default or (2) written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have
been given to the Trustee by the Company or by any Holder of the Securities, and
such notice references the Securities and this Indenture.

                  (g)      The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated
herein shall not be construed as duties.

SECTION 7.03 May Hold Securities.

                  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or
any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. However, the Trustee is
subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

SECTION 7.04 Trustee's Disclaimer.

                  The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for
the Company's use of the proceeds from the Securities or any money paid to the
Company or upon the Company's direction under any provision hereof, it shall not
be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying
Agent other than the Trustee and it shall not be responsible for any statement
or recital herein or any statement in the Securities other than its certificate
of authentication.

SECTION 7.05 Notice of Defaults.

                  If a Default or Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of any series occurs and is continuing and it is known to the
Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Securities of such series a notice
of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the
case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium (if
any) and interest on and Additional Amounts or any sinking fund installment with
respect to the Securities of such series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if
and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines
that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders of Securities of such
series.

SECTION 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders.

                  Within 60 days after each May 15 of each year after the
execution of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of a series and
the Company a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with
TIA Section 313(a); provided, however, that if no event described in TIA Section
313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date with
respect to a series, no report need be transmitted to Holders of such series.
The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b). The Trustee shall also
transmit by mail all reports if and as required by TIA Sections 313(c) and
313(d).

                  A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders of
a series of Securities shall be filed by the Company with the SEC and each
securities exchange, if any, on which the

                                       34
<PAGE>

Securities of such series are listed. The Company shall notify the Trustee if
and when any series of Securities is listed on any securities exchange.

SECTION 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

                  The Company agrees to pay to the Trustee for its acceptance of
this Indenture and services hereunder such compensation as the Company and the
Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee's compensation
shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express
trust. The Company agrees to reimburse the Trustee upon request for all
reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred by it. Such expenses
shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the
Trustee's agents and counsel.

                  The Company hereby indemnifies the Trustee and any predecessor
Trustee against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense, including
taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of
the Trustee), incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance
or administration of its duties under this Indenture, except as set forth in the
next following paragraph. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any
claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and
the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate
counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such
counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent.

                  The Company shall not be obligated to reimburse any expense or
indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through the
Trustee's negligence or bad faith.

                  To secure the payment obligations of the Company in this
Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money
or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay
principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with
respect to Securities of any series. Such lien and the Company's obligations
under this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee
and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

                  When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) occurs, the expenses and
the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.

                  A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

                  The Trustee may resign and be discharged at any time with
respect to the Securities of one or more series by so notifying the Company. The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of
any series may remove the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series
by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee
if:

                                       35
<PAGE>

                  (1)      the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

                  (2)      the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or
         an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any
         Bankruptcy Law;

                  (3)      a Bankruptcy Custodian or public officer takes charge
         of the Trustee or its property; or

                  (4)      the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

                  If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in
the office of Trustee for any reason, with respect to the Securities of one or
more series, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees
with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that
any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of
one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series). Within one
year after the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of
such series then outstanding may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

                  If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
series does not take office within 30 days after the retiring or removed Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring or removed Trustee (at the expense of the
Company), the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the
then outstanding Securities of such series may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series.

                  If the Trustee with respect to the Securities of a series
fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Securities of such series may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and
the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.

                  In case of the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect
to all Securities, each such successor Trustee shall deliver a written
acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.
Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and
duties of the retiring Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall
mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly
transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to
the lien provided for in Section 7.07.

                  In case of the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring
Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more
(but not all) series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto
in which each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and that (1) shall
confer to each successor Trustee all the rights, powers and duties of the
retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which
the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee
is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall confirm that all the
rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the

                                       36
<PAGE>

Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not
retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and (3) shall add
to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to
provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more
than one Trustee. Nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, and each such Trustee
shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any
trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee. Upon the
execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided
therein and each such successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and
duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those
series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. On request of
the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall transfer to
such successor Trustee all property held by such retiring Trustee as Trustee
with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment
of such successor Trustee relates. Such retiring Trustee shall, however, have
the right to deduct its unpaid fees and expenses, including attorneys' fees.

                  Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee or Trustees
pursuant to this Section 7.08, the obligations of the Company under Section 7.07
shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee or Trustees.

SECTION 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

                  Subject to Section 7.10, if the Trustee consolidates, merges
or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust
business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further
act shall be the successor Trustee; provided, however, that in the case of a
transfer of all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to another
corporation, the transferee corporation expressly assumes all of the Trustee's
liabilities hereunder.

                  In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not
delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or
consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and
deliver the Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the
Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may
authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or
in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such
certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or
in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

SECTION 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

                  There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be
a corporation or banking association organized and doing business under the laws
of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power, shall be subject
to supervision or examination by Federal or State (or the District of Columbia)
authority and shall have, or be a subsidiary of a bank or bank holding company
having, a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in
its most recent published annual report of condition.

                  The Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA Sections 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee is
subject to and shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) during the
period of time required by this Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture shall
prevent the Trustee from filing with the SEC the application referred to in the
penultimate paragraph of TIA Section 310(b).

SECTION 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company.

                  The Trustee is subject to and shall comply with the provisions
of TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section
311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA
Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

SECTION 8.01 Termination of the Company's Obligations.

                  (a)      This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect
with respect to the Securities of a series (except that the Company's
obligations under Section 7.07, the Trustee's and Paying Agent's obligations
under Section 8.03 and the rights, powers, protections and privileges accorded
the Trustee under Article VII shall survive), and the Trustee, on demand of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series, when:

                  (1)      either:

                           (A)      all outstanding Securities of such series
                  theretofore authenticated and issued (other than destroyed,
                  lost or stolen Securities that have been replaced or paid)
                  have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

                           (B)      all outstanding Securities of such series
                  not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation:

                                    (i)      have become due and payable, or

                                    (ii)     will become due and payable at
                                             their Stated Maturity within one
                                             year, or

                                    (iii)    are to be called for redemption
                                             within one year under arrangements
                                             satisfactory to the Trustee for the
                                             giving of notice of redemption by
                                             the Trustee in the name, and at the
                                             expense, of the Company,

                  and, in the case of clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the
                  Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited
                  with the Trustee as funds (immediately available to the
                  Holders in the case of clause (i)) in trust for such purpose
                  (x) money in the currency in which payment of the Securities
                  of such series is to

                                       38
<PAGE>

                  be made in an amount, or (y) Government Obligations with
                  respect to such series, maturing as to principal and interest
                  at such times and in such amounts as will ensure the
                  availability of money in the currency in which payment of the
                  Securities of such series is to be made in an amount or (z) a
                  combination thereof, which will be sufficient, in the opinion
                  (in the case of clauses (y) and (z)) of a nationally
                  recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in
                  a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to
                  pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Securities of
                  such series for principal and interest to the date of such
                  deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and
                  payable) or for principal, premium, if any, and interest to
                  the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; or

                           (C)      the Company has properly fulfilled such
                  other means of satisfaction and discharge as is specified, as
                  contemplated by Section 2.01, to be applicable to the
                  Securities of such series;

                  (2)      the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other
         sums payable by it hereunder with respect to the Securities of such
         series; and

                  (3)      the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
         Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and
         discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such
         series have been complied with, together with an Opinion of Counsel to
         the same effect.

                  (b)      Unless this Section 8.01(b) is specified as not being
applicable to Securities of a series as contemplated by Section 2.01, the
Company may, at its option, terminate certain of its obligations under this
Indenture ("covenant defeasance") with respect to the Securities of a series if:

                  (1)      the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be
         irrevocably deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the
         purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as
         security for and dedicated solely to the benefit of the Holders of
         Securities of such series, (i) money in the currency in which payment
         of the Securities of such series is to be made in an amount, or (ii)
         Government Obligations with respect to such series, maturing as to
         principal and interest at such times and in such amounts as will ensure
         the availability of money in the currency in which payment of the
         Securities of such series is to be made in an amount or (iii) a
         combination thereof, that is sufficient, in the opinion (in the case of
         clauses (ii) and (iii)) of a nationally recognized firm of independent
         public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
         delivered to the Trustee, to pay the principal of and premium (if any)
         and interest on all Securities of such series on each date that such
         principal, premium (if any) or interest is due and payable and (at the
         Stated Maturity thereof or upon redemption as provided in Section
         8.01(e)) to pay all other sums payable by it hereunder; provided that
         the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money
         and/or the proceeds of such Government Obligations to the payment of
         said principal, premium (if any) and interest with respect to the
         Securities of such series as the same shall become due;

                                       39
<PAGE>

                  (2)      the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
         Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and
         discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such
         series have been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel to the same
         effect;

                  (3)      no Default or Event of Default with respect to the
         Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the
         date of such deposit;

                  (4)      the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Opinion of Counsel from a nationally recognized counsel acceptable to
         the Trustee or a private letter ruling issued by the United States
         Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the Holders will not
         recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax
         purposes as a result of the Company's exercise of its option under this
         Section 8.01(b) and will be subject to United States Federal income tax
         on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as
         would have been the case if such option had not been exercised;

                  (5)      the Company has complied with any additional
         conditions specified pursuant to Section 2.01 to be applicable to the
         discharge of Securities of such series pursuant to this Section 8.01;
         and

                  (6)      such deposit and discharge shall not cause the
         Trustee to have a conflicting interest as defined in TIA Section
         310(b).

                  In such event, this Indenture shall cease to be of further
effect (except as set forth in this paragraph), and the Trustee, on demand of
the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge under this Indenture. However, the Company's obligations in Sections
2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 4.01, 4.02, 7.07, 7.08 and 8.04, the Trustee's and
Paying Agent's obligations in Section 8.03 and the rights, powers, protections
and privileges accorded the Trustee under Article VII shall survive until all
Securities of such series are no longer outstanding. Thereafter, only the
Company's obligations in Section 7.07 and the Trustee's and Paying Agent's
obligations in Section 8.03 shall survive with respect to Securities of such
series.

                  After such irrevocable deposit made pursuant to this Section
8.01(b) and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth herein, the Trustee
upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company's
obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series
except for those surviving obligations specified above.

                  In order to have money available on a payment date to pay
principal of or premium (if any) or interest on the Securities, the Government
Obligations shall be payable as to principal or interest on or before such
payment date in such amounts as will provide the necessary money. Government
Obligations shall not be callable at the issuer's option.

                  (c)      If the Company has previously complied or is
concurrently complying with Section 8.01(b) (other than any additional
conditions specified pursuant to Section 2.01 that are expressly applicable only
to covenant defeasance) with respect to Securities of a series, then, unless
this Section 8.01(c) is specified as not being applicable to Securities of such
series as

                                       40
<PAGE>

contemplated by Section 2.01, the Company may elect that its obligations to make
payments with respect to Securities of such series be discharged ("legal
defeasance"), if:

                  (1)      no Default or Event of Default under clauses (5) and
         (6) of Section 6.01 hereof shall have occurred at any time during the
         period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit contemplated by
         Section 8.01(b) (it being understood that this condition shall not be
         deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period);

                  (2)      unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities
         of such series as contemplated by Section 2.01, the Company has
         delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from a nationally
         recognized counsel acceptable to the Trustee to the effect referred to
         in Section 8.01(b)(4) with respect to such legal defeasance, which
         opinion is based on (i) a private letter ruling issued by the United
         States Internal Revenue Service addressed to the Company, (ii) a
         published ruling of the United States Internal Revenue Service
         pertaining to a comparable form of transaction or (iii) a change in the
         applicable United States Federal income tax law (including regulations)
         after the date of this Indenture;

                  (3)      the Company has complied with any other conditions
         specified pursuant to Section 2.01 to be applicable to the legal
         defeasance of Securities of such series pursuant to this Section
         8.01(c); and

                  (4)      the Company has delivered to the Trustee a Company
         Request requesting such legal defeasance of the Securities of such
         series and an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions
         precedent with respect to such legal defeasance of the Securities of
         such series have been complied with, together with an Opinion of
         Counsel to the same effect.

                  In such event, the Company will be discharged from its
obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series to pay
principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with
respect to Securities of such series, the Company's obligations under Sections
4.01 and 4.02 shall terminate with respect to such Securities, and the entire
indebtedness of the Company evidenced by such Securities shall be deemed paid
and discharged.

                  (d)      If and to the extent additional or alternative means
of satisfaction, discharge or defeasance of Securities of a series are specified
to be applicable to such series as contemplated by Section 2.01, the Company may
terminate any or all of its obligations under this Indenture with respect to
Securities of a series and any or all of its obligations under the Securities of
such series if it fulfills such other means of satisfaction and discharge as may
be so specified, as contemplated by Section 2.01, to be applicable to the
Securities of such series.

                  (e)      If Securities of any series subject to subsections
(a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 8.01 are to be redeemed prior to their
Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional redemption provisions or in
accordance with any mandatory or optional sinking fund provisions, the terms of
the applicable trust arrangement shall provide for such redemption, and the
Company shall make such arrangements as are reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and
at the expense, of the Company.

                                       41

SECTION 8.02 Application of Trust Money.

                  The Trustee or a trustee satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Company shall hold in trust money or Government Obligations deposited with it
pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof. It shall apply the deposited money and the
money from Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance
with this Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium (if any) and
interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of the
series with respect to which the deposit was made.

SECTION 8.03 Repayment to Company.

                  The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the
Company any excess money or Government Obligations (or proceeds therefrom) held
by them at any time upon the written request of the Company.

                  Subject to the requirements of any applicable abandoned
property laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon
written request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium (if
any), interest or any Additional Amounts that remains unclaimed for two years
after the date upon which such payment shall have become due. After payment to
the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment
as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates
another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with
respect to such money shall cease.

SECTION 8.04 Reinstatement.

                  If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any
money or Government Obligations deposited with respect to Securities of any
series in accordance with Section 8.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
obligations of the Company under this Indenture with respect to the Securities
of such series and under the Securities of such series shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01 until such
time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01; provided, however, that
if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium (if any) or
interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities because of
the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money
or Government Obligations held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

         solely for the benefit of such series), or to surrender any right or

         adversely affect the interest of the Holders of Securities of such
         series or any other series of Securities in any material respect; or

                  (11)     to evidence and provide for the acceptance of

         Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the
         provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or
         facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one
         Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.08.

                  Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a Board
Resolution, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in
Section 9.06, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.06, join with the Company
in the execution of any supplemental indenture authorized

                                       43

or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained.

SECTION 9.02 With Consent of Holders.

                  Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and
the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture with the consent (including
consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for
Securities of any one or more series or all series or a solicitation of consents
in respect of Securities of any one or more series or all series, provided that
in each case such offer or solicitation is made to all Holders of then
outstanding Securities of each such series (but the terms of such offer or
solicitation may vary from series to series)) of the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of all series
affected by such amendment or supplement (acting as one class).

                  Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a Board
Resolution, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of
the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents
described in Section 9.06, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.06, join with
the Company in the execution of such amendment or supplemental indenture.

                  It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under
this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment,
supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the
substance thereof.

                  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities of one or more series or of all series (acting as one
class) may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any
provision of this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series (including
waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for
Securities of such series or a solicitation of consents in respect of Securities
of such series, provided that in each case such offer or solicitation is made to
all Holders of then outstanding Securities of such series (but the terms of such
offer or solicitation may vary from series to series)).

                  However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an
amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not:

                  (1)      reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must
         consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

                  (2)      reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of
         interest, including default interest, on any Security;

                  (3)      reduce the principal of, any premium on or any
         mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to, or change the Stated
         Maturity of, any Security or reduce the amount of the principal of an
         Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a
         declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section
         6.02;

                                       44
<PAGE>

                  (4)      reduce the premium, if any, payable upon the
         redemption of any Security or change the time at which any Security may
         or shall be redeemed;

                  (5)      change any obligation of the Company to pay
         Additional Amounts with respect to any Security;

                  (6)      change the coin or currency or currencies (including
         composite currencies) in which any Security or any premium, interest or
         Additional Amounts with respect thereto are payable;

                  (7)      impair the right to institute suit for the
         enforcement of any payment of principal of, premium (if any) or
         interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security
         pursuant to Sections 6.07 and 6.08, except as limited by Section 6.06;

                  (8)      make any change in the percentage of principal amount
         of Securities necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions of
         this Indenture pursuant to Section 6.04 or 6.07 or make any change in
         this sentence of Section 9.02;

                  (9)      waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
         payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or Additional
         Amounts with respect to the Securities; or

                  (10)     if applicable, make any change that materially and
         adversely affects the right to convert any Security.

                  A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any
covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included
solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which
modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to
such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under
this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

                  The right of any Holder to participate in any consent required
or sought pursuant to any provision of this Indenture (and the obligation of the
Company to obtain any such consent otherwise required from such Holder) may be
subject to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the Holder of record
of any Securities with respect to which such consent is required or sought as of
a date identified by the Company in a notice furnished to Holders in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture.

                  After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section
9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of each Security
affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or
waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

                  Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the
Securities shall comply in form and substance with the TIA as then in effect.

                                       45
<PAGE>

SECTION 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

                  Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a
consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every
subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same
debt as the consenting Holder's Security, even if notation of the consent is not
made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke
the consent as to his or her Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee
receives written notice of revocation before a date and time therefor identified
by the Company in a notice furnished to such Holder in accordance with the terms
of this Indenture or, if no such date and time shall be identified, the date the
amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or
waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every
Holder.

                  The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record
date (which need not comply with TIA Section 316(c)) for the purpose of
determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or
waiver or to take any other action under this Indenture. If a record date is
fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding
paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly
designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to
such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given,
whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No
consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date
unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of Securities required
hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall have also been
given and not revoked within such 90-day period.

                  After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it
shall bind every Holder, unless it is of the type described in any of clauses
(1) through (9) of Section 9.02 hereof. In such case, the amendment, supplement
or waiver shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent
Holder that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security.

SECTION 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

                  If an amendment or supplement changes the terms of an
outstanding Security, the Company may require the Holder of the Security to
deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the
Security at the request of the Company regarding the changed terms and return it
to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the Company in
exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new
Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate
notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such
amendment or supplement.

                  Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the
execution of any amendment or supplement may, and shall if required by the
Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter
provided for in such amendment or supplement.

SECTION 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

                  The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplement authorized
pursuant to this Article if the amendment or supplement does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or

                                       46
<PAGE>

immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it.
In signing or refusing to sign such amendment or supplement, the Trustee shall
be entitled to receive, in addition to the documents required by Section 10.04,
and, subject to Section 7.01 hereof, shall be fully protected in relying upon,
an Opinion of Counsel provided at the expense of the Company to the effect that
such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

SECTION 10.01 Trust Indenture Act Controls.

conflicts with the duties imposed by operation of TIA Section 318(c), the
imposed duties shall control.

                  Any notice or communication to a Holder shall be mailed by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder's address shown on the register
kept by the Registrar. Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or

                  If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided
above within the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee
receives it, except in the case of notice to the Trustee, it is duly given only

shall mail a copy to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

                  All notices or communications, including without limitation
notices to the Trustee or the Company by Holders, shall be in writing, except as
otherwise set forth herein.

                  In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service,
or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impossible to mail any notice
required by this Indenture, then such method of notification as shall be made
with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient mailing of such
notice.

SECTION 10.03 Communication by Holders with Other Holders.

                  Holders may communicate pursuant to TIA Section 312(b) with
other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the

the Company or the Trustee under this Indenture or for any claim based on, in
